Jason deCaires Taylor

Jason deCaires Taylor has helped build underwater parks with the infusion of his underwater sculptures.

The Wisdom Segment

I
The American Revolution happened between the years 1765 and 1783. The aim of the conflict, pushed by the thirteen American colonies against Great Britain, was to gain independence through the creation of a sovereign nation. With the help of France, America eventually triumphed in this objective.

II
American colonists who supported the fight for independence were called "patriots." Conversely, those who sided with the British crown, whose soldiers were called redcoats, or devils, were referred to as loyalists. Many of those who did not take sides in the war were called fence sitters.

III
One of the leading causes of the American Revolution was summarized in the slogan, no taxation without representation, wherein American colonists believed it to be illegal for them to be affected by laws enacted in British parliament without their input.

IV
Being taxed without proper representation was deemed oppressive, and this prompted the start of many protests. In turn, this led to the Boston Massacre, euphemistically referred to by the British as "the Incident on King Street in 1770," where British soldiers shot and killed protesters while being harassed in Boston.

V
The Whig Party opposed constitutional monarchism in parliament. They also criticized the British government for their corrupt practices. Then a political faction, they also refused to support the use of military force against the colonists to resolve the problems which had given rise to the American Revolution.

VI
During the American Revolution, some African-American slaves were enticed to fight in favor of the British who, in turn, promised liberty to those who supported the loyalist forces. Since some slaves chose to fight alongside their masters, this meant there were African-Americans on both sides of the conflict.
